The claim that the ultra-rich are taxed at a higher rate than anyone else in society is provably false. In 2015 the US Congress Joint Committee on Taxation calculated [1, p. 7] that implementing the "Buffet rule" would bring in an additional $7 billion in tax revenue per year.

In a nutshell the Buffet rule is making sure that the ultra-rich are taxed at no less than the same rate as a middle income family, namely 30%.

In total the changes proposed in [1] would bring a net increase in revenue on taxation of individuals north of $50 bn per year, even while reducing the tax burden on low- and middle-income families.

And no, the US does not have actual socialized healthcare. When you have parents sitting with a sick child in their car in the parking lot outside the hospital, waiting as long ad possible before they go to in, in case the kid gets better so they can avoid racking up a huge hospital bill, you've screwed something up real bad. This doesn't happen ever in any country in Europe, period.

> Paid personal leave? You want to pay people to not work because of some imaginary zeroes?

I don't understand at all the reference to imaginary zeroes here. My point is that government subsidised paid parental leave is a measure that significantly increases the quality of life of low- and middle-income families in the critical period of time when their children are very small. It's a no-brainer even financially, the ROI from increased productivity in the workforce over the span of a decade is strongly positive. If you let a woman take parental leave and take care of her babies for a couple of years total in her 30s, versus working her to the bone in that period, I guarantee you she will have a net increase in her productive labor output during her lifespan.

So we can’t knock a community for throwing ideas out there. I’ve gotten ideas from WSB that have led me to other ideas. It’s an alright subreddit, but to disparage them as dumbasses is a little much (they do enough of that to themselves as is).
Possible, but extremely unlikely. I heard a lot of the short contracts have an expiration date of Friday. No idea if that's really true or not. Issuing new stock has a long lead time. If it wasn't in the works a month or two ago, it won't happen in the next few days.
There's simply no other furniture retailer the size of IKEA, by far. So we actually don't have anyone else to compare to.

Someone defending IKEA could argue that if companies like Walmart of Target, which I think are the closest competitors to IKEA, were in the same position they would do even more nefarious tax evasion. It's a "lesser evil" argument but it does ring kind of true.

(Author here) I used to think that, but I've since found myself working on a similar sized codebase where we use very little OO and none of these problems have manifested themselves. Avoiding large function signatures and passing higher order functions around takes a little discipline, but wrapping those things with a bit of OO doesn't make the root problems go away, it just encourages their proliferation. (To reiterate the article, I'm by and large talking application development as opposed to library development).

If the amount of money to produce doctors keeps escalating, it's not surprising medical care only goes up.

Those people can still be useful:

When there is an open question, with important consequences but unclear resolution, it is hard to know the right answer. Somehow, it is easier to know the wrong answer, and that person will reach for it immediately. So, watch him and choose the opposite.

robust competition cleans up a lot of problems.

As the other reply mentioned, I wonder if this is just the human cost insanity infecting veterinary costs -- MRI tech could be used for humans, so the machine is absurdly expensive, and vets have to charge more to justify the cost of having a dedicated pet MRI.
It sounds like you're saying that the poor whites are the one pushing the systematic racism view of the problem. Since it seems clear to me that that's not the case, I am confused by this view. Am I misunderstanding what you're saying?

Similar thoughts.

I've built myself a couple chorders, mostly using the same 7-key arrangement as the Infogrip BAT and Spiffchorder default. I'm deeply qwerty habituated and finding low enough actuation force switches to be comfortable depressing several has been a challenge^, so I struggle with them a bit, but they're _enticing_.
I've been trying to come up with a good way to build one that I can reasonably comfortably and intrusively use against my leg (fabric with capacitve pads?) or as a keyglove or something - I like to pace around while I compose text or work out code, and want to try entry while I pace. I'd look like a madman, but that's acceptable.

I'm yet to see an HMD that I'd be willing to do extended text manipulation on. I occasionally consider the Microwriter model where you only have a line or so of display on your chorder, but I'm not sold enough on it to go through the hassle of building one of those little mini-OLED driven monocles.

To burn you have to dry out the fuel matter and warm it up to its combustion T.

If the air is -50, the fire has to give up enough enthalpy to not just dry up and warm up the wood, but also melt the water in the fuel. That energy cost is huge.

That cold air is dense won’t come close to overcoming the enthalpy of melting and having to dry the fuel.

Also that the air is “dry” is irrelevant at -50C. The air is dry because it can’t hold onto moisture so it won’t dry out the fuel. Also, the water in the fuel is frozen so even if the air was relatively dry there would still be a huge kinetic barrier to sublimation.
The example given in the article is not compelling -- there are only two arguments in play, so passing two arguments directly instead of passing an object holding those two things isn't painful.

To me the big win of classes isn't inheritance, it is that functions and related data live in a common scope.

If you write your code as a bag of data structures and a bag of functions that you pass those ad-hoc data structures to, it is less clear which things play together.

Additionally, the only people left being bag holders here so far are the hedge fund (and their copycats) taking such an absurd short position.

Should [GME execs] sell a ton of stock to all these redditors who want it so badly?
Yes, of course, absolutely, I said so on Monday, but it’s tricky. For one thing if they sell stock at the top they will surely get sued. For another thing, even at these prices, you want something sensible to do with the money; you can’t be like “we’re gonna sell a billion dollars of stock because we can, and use the money to pay ourselves bonuses and open some stores I guess?”

Cohen paid about $75.9 million for his 9 million shares, an average price of about $8.43 per share. His stake is worth about $1.3 billion at yesterday’s closing price, or I guess twice that after Musk’s tweet. I bet that, when he was buying the stock at $8.43 a share, and when he was crafting his activist letter to the GameStop board, he thought that $40 a share would be a great outcome. Close some stores, be more efficient, build up the online presence, get to positive net income, blah blah blah, quintuple his money. It would take months or years of sustained engagement, but he is an experienced operator and was probably up for the challenge.

Oops! He’s been on the board for two weeks, he’s done roughly nothing, and he’s up 1,655%, or some other comically large number, depending on what minute you choose to look at the stock price.

The weird part is, you shouldn’t need to do both. Like either you bamboozle an unsophisticated client into doing some nasty derivative with you, because the client’s representative is too unsophisticated to know what is going on—or else the client representative knows exactly what is going on, but you overcome her objections by bribing her. If you have to bribe the client to do a trade with you, the client is probably sophisticated enough to know that the trade is bad? I guess it doesn’t actually work that way. Still feels a bit like overkill.

It is tempting to make fun of this but on reflection I find that I cannot. For one thing, my experience of reading sports blogs online consists mostly of clicking embedded highlight videos and seeing an error message saying that the owner of the rights to the video has removed it. If there was some Ja Morant dunk that I particularly wanted to revisit over the years, it might be worth paying a few … uh, tens of thousands of dollars … for an immutable record on a public blockchain entitling me to watch it. Sure. “We have removed this video,” the NBA would say, and I’d be like “nuh uh look at this blockchain right here.” Basically what Satoshi had in mind. Also I collected baseball cards when I was a kid, and those don’t even have video. Paying money for ephemeral manufactured sports memorabilia based on artificial scarcity is an American tradition; now it’s on the blockchain.

It's a bit more complicated than that. Health care costs have skyrocketed in the US. One of the big contributors to that has been the explosion in testing, both routine and diagnostic. These large costs aren't always shared to the same degree with other countries that have socialized medicine.

One example is with MRI scans. MRI machines, and the technicians and doctors who work with them, are insanely expensive. The US is, of course, not the only country with MRI machines. However, in countries with socialized medicine there may be a much longer wait for people to get an MRI scan for a non-critical issue. What about in the US? If you've got the money, you can get one right away. As a Canadian, I've seen tons of advertisements over the years targeting Canadians for MRIs as a cross-border service.

So the question is: is getting an MRI now instead of waiting 6 months a basic need? Private MRI clinics are definitely profiting from it. It definitely seems frustrating for people on the waiting list who can't afford to cross the border and pay out of pocket. However, it doesn't seem nearly as bad as a company price-gouging people on life-saving insulin, for example.
At least regarding games, ECS is the popular flavor-of-the-month alternative to OOP as a design strategy. The main problem being that games often have a lot of special cases, which break the inheritance hierarchy quite quickly.

E.g. Defining a weapon > {sword, wand} hierarchy, with respective properties for melee and casting, and then defining a unique weapon spellsword which is capable of both melee and casting. You could inherit from weapon, and copy & paste sword/wand code, or inherit from sword/wand, and copy & paste the other, but the hierarchy is broken.

ECS would rather have you define [melee] and [casting] components, and then define a sword to have [melee], wand to have [casting] and spellsword to have [melee, casting]. So instead of representing the relationships as a tree of inheritance, you represent it as a graph of components (properties). And then you generically process any object with the melee tag, and any object with the casting tag, as needed.

And of course then you could trivially go and reach out across the hierarchies and toss [melee] onto your house object and wield your house like a sword -- I don't know why you'd want to do that, but the architecture is flexible enough to do so (perhaps to your detriment).

Dwarf Fortress probably has the best example of this: https://github.com/BenLubar/raws/blob/archive/objects/creatu...

That's probably more an example of "metadata-driven" but it's ultimately the same thing -- an entity in the game is defined by its components, and the job of the game engine is to simply drive those components through the simulation. That particular example has its metadata (e.g. aesthetics: [CREATURE_TILE:249][COLOR:2:0:0]), its capabilities (e.g. [AMPHIBIOUS][UNDERSWIM]) and its data (e.g. [PETVALUE:10][BODY_SIZE:0:0:200]).

And it even has inheritance :-)

Morality is not objective.

If you want people to stop doing something, make it illegal.

If you can't muster the political will to do so, clearly not enough people agree with your view of morality (assuming a functional democracy).
Some will, but probably not the ones that grab attention. For 99% of humanity's existence, if you even heard of ten people dying at once it meant that you were in extreme danger. (Or occasionally, had just finished putting the neighbouring tribe in extreme danger.)

In case you need to onboard more devs to scale up the effort, I'd imagine you actually need good luck and/or connections.
